Recommender systems suggests items that would be preferred to customers. Here, we propose to add new function, price discounting, to these systems. This new system determines whether it offers discounting for each customer, and thus this price-setting scheme is called price customization. We discuss the benefits that this customized pricing recommender system will bring for both customers and d...

Two experiments examine the process by which free gift promotions serve as a source of information about the underlying value of the product offered as a free gift. The value-discounting hypothesis argues that by virtue of being offered as a free gift, products will be valued less as evinced by lower purchase intentions and a lower price that consumers are willing to pay for them. Conditions th...

We consider the problem of two agents bargaining over the relative price of two goods they are endowed with. They alternatingly exchange price offers and the utilities are discounted. The recipient of an offer can either accept it and choose the quantities to be traded, or reject and counteroffer a different relative price. We study the set of equilibria as discounting frictions vanish and find...

In this chapter, we describe stochastic discounting and valuation of random cash flows in a discrete time setting. We therefore introduce a consistent multiperiod pricing framework. This consistent multiperiod pricing framework is either based on state price deflators or on equivalent martingale measures. The connection between these two pricing concepts is then described by the market price of...

A group of players which contain n sellers and n buyers bargain over the partitions of n pies. A seller (/buyer) has to reach an agreement with a buyer (/seller) on the division of a pie. The players bargain in a system like the stock market: each seller(buyer) can either offer a selling(buying) price to all buyers(sellers) or accept a price offered by another buyer(seller). The offered prices ...

This paper uses supermarket scanner data to estimate brand- and packaging-specific own- and cross-price elasticities for beer. We find that brand- and packaging-specific beer sales are highly price elastic. Cross-price elasticity estimates suggest that individuals are more likely to buy a higher-volume package of the same brand of beer than they are to switch brands. Policy simulations suggest ...

We derive representations for the stock price drift and volatility in the equilibrium of agents with arbitrary, heterogeneous utility functions and with the aggregate dividend following an arbitrary Markov diffusion. We introduce a new, intrinsic characteristic of the aggregate dividend process that we call the ”rate of discounting volatility” and show that, in equilibrium, the size of market p...
